"Privacy and solitude a lot of space! But not in proximity to anything. It's about 15-20 mins from Orvieto town which cost $30 taxi to go somewhere. There is a grocery store about 5mins away if you have a car"

What's Orvieto Like?

The Duomo di Orvieto, with its Gothic facade soaring seven stories high should be on every traveler's list of cathedrals to see in Italy. Inside one can see The Corporal of Bolsena, and in Chapel of San Brizio spectacular frescoes painted by Luca Signorell. The Pozzo di San Patrizio is a feat of engineering ordered by Pope Clement VII to ensure the village would never run out of water if attacked. Orvieto means 'ancient city' so it is no surprise that archaeologists have found artifacts from the Etruscan era some 700 BC in and around the city. Beneath Orvieto are caves and tunnels carved into volcanic rock. Once used by townspeople to hide from attackers, now visitors can tour this maze of tunnels. They also store the local Classico wine there. Atop the Maurizio Tower, across the Piazza del Duomo, is Orvieto's symbol, a bronze automaton.
